NSV (since the scale seems stuck)



Recommended Posts

Hey all - thought I'd check in with an NSV this morning! Struggling with a stall that seems to be lasting all month, so turned to clothing instead. One of the things that always made me sad while on vacation was not being able to fit into cute souvenier t-shirts in women's sizes. I don't usually care about brand names, but in particular with tees, I've always wanted a "life is good" shirt. Well, at Cabelas, checking out the life is good section a couple, I couldn't decide on short sleeve or long sleeve would be my goal. Wasn't planning to buy because surely they wouldn't fit! Hubby threw both in the cart and checked out. Tried them on this morning and both fit perfectly! Woo hoo! I was going to wear an old, too big shirt today, but screw that - Life is Good!

Also had one of my employees approach me this week and say "I don't want to be weird or anything, but you look fantastic". :)

trusting the process.....

Fantastic post! 40lbs loss (the sidebar in your profile says) is significant. I posted somewhere else - four people told me Friday I look ‘healthy’ which is a lovely way to note the weight loss without being personal - “have you lost weight?” Is very intrusive!

It is really hard to get a mental picture of my size now - seems you are the same @Miss Topaz - but our other halves seem to have a better idea of it than us!

Keep up the good work, my friend

Thanks! I treated myself with a trip to TJMaxx to try on work blouses :) Came home with just one! I should check my profile and see if that 40 pounds is still accurate....

I desperately need new bras now (!!).... and One of the only places around here that is not in the mall like Victoria secret that measures - Is the plus size store. I walked in and the saleswoman asked me if I knew it was a plus size store and asked if I was in the right place!? It felt awesome… Also definitely a little rude and disrespectful - they had no problem accepting my money before —but felt awesome at the time!

So now instead of regular size stores ignoring you, plus size are rude? Weirdly awesome! But seriously, never acceptable for a store clerk to be rude to a customer

That's true but we plump and chubby yearn for the Bryant folks to take a hike down their Lane, me I hope,to go from Add43rd Demensions to Minimal Observation and no longer roam in the Roamans catalogue. And the day when Just My Size isn't, Huzzahz!😜

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
